MQM SEVERELY CONDEMNS MURDER ATTEMPT ON MQM SOUTH
AFRICA ORGANISER, RASHID MEENAI
LONDON. Aug
19, 2019: MQM’s
Coordination Committee (CC) has vehemently condemned murder attempt on party’s
South African (SA) organiser and CC’s honorary assistant Rashid Meenai.
In a statement issued here in London, the
CC said that on the occasion of a rally on August 14th on the atrocities on
Mohajirs in Pakistan, certain elements on the payroll of Pakistani
establishment had attempted top intimidate the participants of the rally. Now
the situation reached a level of attempt to murder the Organiser, Meenai in
which he luckily escaped the lethal attempt. It was not new as the Pakistani
establishment and its puppet had time and again attempted to inflict lethal
accidents to the MQM designees as these have hired the services of professional
killers under the aegis of Pakistani Embassy in SA.
The CC has through this statement
approached the SA President Mr Cyril Rampaphosa and the SA government to take
stern notice of attempt to murder the MQM organiser in SSA as the affected is a
legal citizen of the SA. Those involved and behind that murder attempt should
be arrested, taken to task and the affected Meenai and party workers should be
provided all due legal and protective cover.
The CC said that SA is a country of Great
Leader Mr Nelson Mandela, who not only struggled for the people of SA but he
was a very strong and dynamic voice for the oppressed all over the world. It is
fervently expected that the SA government would take all due measures for the
safety of the MQM workers, supporters, sympathisers and designees in SA per the
teachings of Mr Mandela.
The CC has also said that it would sit
not idle and silent but would approach SA government, Ruling African National
Congress and other progressive parties and the international rights
organisations and the United Nations.
